Plot

July 1881: a mother comes to Sherlock Holmes to find her son. A naval officer posted to HMS Dido to fight the Boers. However, he did not return with his men, and is now being denounced as a deserter and traitor. Can Holmes uncover the truth, a truth that threatens the Empire with assassination, diamond mines and military cover-ups?
